Starring: Abhay Deol, Sonam Kapoor, Dhanush, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, Swara Bhaskar, Shilpi Marwaha


Bollywood has always explored inter-caste romance, love between the rich and the poor, triangle love stories, forgotten love etc. Raanjhanaa tries to be all of the above but yet movie away from the cliches and narrate a sensible story. Kundan (Dhanush) is a young and cheerful lad that resides in Varanasi, India. In his school days, he falls in love with a Muslim girl, Zoya (Kapoor) and tries hard to cajole. When Zoya's family learns that she is romancing a Hindu boy that too in her school-going days, they send her off to Aligarh to pursue her further studies there. Eight years on when Zoya returns to Varanasi, she is unable to recollect who Kundan was whereas Kundan waited for eight long years for her to return and profess his love for her once more. Where Zoya has moved on and fallen in love with Akram (Deol), Kundan is still deeply in love with her and is adamant on marrying her. Don't think that the rest of the movie would be the typical Bollywood that everyone assumes to be because this movie deviates heavily from the traditional course of things. Although the first half is very light and cheerful, the second half starts becoming slow and monotonous which desperately leaves you waiting for something better to occur. Dhanush has done some phenomenal acting and is indeed the show stealer here. The immature small-town boy who runs around in the streets is what he does brilliantly and bring life to the show. A good romance which would have been better had the movie developed in a more entertaining fashion.


Thumbs up: Dhanush and his acting

Thumbs down: A dragged second half

There is chaos on the street, in the banks, ATMs and petrol pumps. We expect the scene to remain the same for coming days or weeks. But there is an easy way out of this, especially for all those who have a smartphone. Tuesday, November 8, was a usual day till about 8pm in the evening when PM Modi said that  Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes will cease to be legal tenders from the midnight in India. That was the midnight of November 8. What followed that decision, presumably made to fight black money, has been a blurry slideshow of long queues outside ATMs, petrol pumps and just about everywhere. While many smartphone users are aware of mobile wallets and are probably using them, many are not. And even those who are using mobile wallets probably don't know all the uses of these apps at present.
